Union That Endorsed Edwards Will Back Obama
The Transport Workers Union, which represents 140,000 active workers, is expected to announce Friday that it will become the first union that had backed John Edwards to switch its endorsement to Barack Obama, one union adviser said Thursday night. The union, which endorsed Mr. Edwards, last September represents transit workers in New York City, flight attendants at Southwest Airlines and ground crew for American Airlines.

The Transport Workers Union is especially strong in New York State because the union’s New York City branch, Local 100, with more than 30,000 members, is one of the city’s largest and most vocal unions. The union, which is based in Manhattan also claims 60,000 retirees nationwide as members.

Or pull out the Theme from the Black Hole to swallow up the non-funkables like she!

Talk about being ripe for the Downstroke! And then some!

5. Tell the queen of the Zone of Zero Funkativity that our man said:
"Put that snoot to use you mother! 'Cause you will dance, sucker"

If the queen is forced to dance, she can then hit the Atomic Dog with da Bog Gun and control his Maggot Brain, by throwing some Cosmic Slop on his unfunkable pie hole...
